STAFF members from Southwaite Services near Carlisle have braved the shave as part of a charity 'fundrazor'.

Ten members of staff from the motorway service station on the M6 were given the choice to either shave their heads bald or take off their beards for charity on Thursday, November 28. 

The 'fundrazor' was set up to raise cash for the Moto Foundation, a charity set up by the Cumbrian service station's parent company.

After the staff members had parted with their hair, Matthew Kirby, Southwaite Services' site operations manager, explained more about the work the Moto Foundation does.

He said: "The Moto Foundation makes a positive difference to communities around Moto's motorway rest stops.

"The Moto Foundation gives community grants to charities local to Moto's sites, totalling over £62,000 in 2023, and supports a network of adopted schools and community partners. We've donated over 230,000 new books to schools since 2006.
